Former President Donald Trump warned Hamas on Monday to release all hostages by 12 p.m. on Saturday. He said that if the hostages are not returned by that time, Israel should cancel the current cease-fire and take stronger action. Trump made it clear that he expected all hostages to be freed at once, not in small groups. He did not specify the time zone for the deadline but stressed that if Hamas fails to meet it, Israel should act without delay. Trump further stated that if the hostages aren’t returned by Saturday afternoon, "hell will break out" in the Middle East, suggesting severe consequences for Hamas and the region if the deadline is not met.
